"Above all, Getting It Together provided the opportunity for relationships to be developed within the community and for faces to be put to the very important services available to help local families."Mr Greg Warren, MP. Download and read the full report here.
"I would like to commend Macarthur Gateway for their organisation of the Getting it Together event which I have no doubt will provide a valuable opportunity for service providers to connect with the Aboriginal community and raise awareness of the range of services available."Tanya Davies, MP.

About


Getting It Together, organised and hosted by MGRS was a first-time Aboriginal community event held on the 21st of January 2016 at Bradbury Oval in Campbelltown. This was provided to the public for free with approximately 400-500 people at the event. In attendance were 50 stall holders with 39 occupied by service providers from the Macarthur region along with 20 other miscellaneous stakeholders, sponsors, media and guest speakers that supported the event.

Evidence from the evaluation surveys given to both the Aboriginal community and service providers attending the Getting It Together for our mob demonstrated that the event benefited both groups by:

  • Increasing Aboriginal community to service provider engagement
  • Facilitated inter-agency partnerships
  • Increased knowledge and access to services targeted to the Aboriginal community
  • Enabled promotion of service providers targeted to the Aboriginal community
  • Creating and enjoyable, fun and relaxed environment celebrating the Aboriginal community

The outcome of the event serves to reinforce MGRS’s strategy for early intervention and prevention of homelessness through strengthening engagement between service providers and the Aboriginal community.
